I have seen some people have this issue, and most folks had their issue resolved by doing either a rescan or a full rebuild - I have tried both, multiple times, to no avail.

I *really* don't want to have to go into every single album to have squeezecenter populate the album art.

Any ideas?

You cover art are named cover/folder/album.jpg?
Which OS is SC running on? Have you tried Artwork logging in SC?

Yes, in fact - all my music is on my readynas, and when I ran SC on readynas, it picked up all the album art no problem. I just installed SC on Windows XP (for faster response) and it doesn't see the album art! Exact same data store... :)

I've seen exactly the same issue, I have my music on a ReadyNAS too. Some art is picked up, some isn't. I switch between the servers and the result is completely different.

Subscribing to thread in case somebody proposes a solution.

bumping this - I guess either a) no one else has this problem or b) there is a fix that I just can't find... :)

I upgraded to 7.1, and that didn't do anything. I also turned on artwork logging to "debug" level, and the only time I ever get any hits is when I go down to the album level - before that, I don't get anything in the logs...

More Information.

I have a directory called "Metallica/And Justice for All" with the 9 songs, plus folder.jpg.

On my Squeezebox controller - when I browse by album, it shows no album art.. when I go all the way into actually play the song, it finally displays the art, plus it creates a NEW jpg by the name of "AlbumArt_{0B6BE3A3-9D5D-488B-8802-69C8D696E85F}_Large". But still, even after that, under album view on the controller it doesn't show the artwork.

Should I just open a trouble case with Logitech?

A ton more info that most people want... :)

I blew away my entire database, and created a directory with a single Linkin Park album (minutes to midnight) with a single folder.jpg image in the directory.

I then tried viewing from both the web interface and the squeezebox controller a myriad of ways, including rescanning before it FINALLY worked in both the web interface and the controller...

This CAN'T be this hard!!! (attached are all my logs capture).

For whatever reason, it appears as if the server is not even doing an artwork scan - and I can't figure out why. If I just have a few directories, it does...

HELP!

Ok - I figured it out... the scanner is crashing while merging artists - below is a dump of the error.

This is the telltale sign of interference from anti-virus software.
Whatever software you are using, tell it to not scan *.MYI and *.MYD
files.
The database backend for SC (mysql) and antivirus programs do not
play well together.

I had to turn off mcafee - the virus scan was interfering with the sql temp file creation... now I have to find a way to exclude those files...

just as an aside, since some people here are infrant users, you might be interested in bug 8324. it is a patch (by erland) to allow users to turn off the VA logic detection, which would save users some time, and might really help infrant users.

there are other ways to tag comps, why use the imprecise logic if u could just turn it off and save the time and avoid its mistakes?

Ugh. I had this very same issue. I use AVGFree which does not let you specify an exclusion list (the for-pay edition does), nor does it seem to have a quick and easy way to unload the resident real-time scanner. I ended up having to uninstall AVG and move to ClamWin as my AV solution in order to get the scan going properly. ClamWin does not have an on-access real-time scan engine like AVG does, so we'll see if I stick with this solution.

Interesting day...

EDIT: Blah... I spoke too soon... even with ClamWin I have the album art issue... sigh... back to the drawing board.

EDIT 2: Fixed my issue. Upgraded my version of AVG to the latest free version which did allow me to edit the real-time scan file type listing. I also explicitly specified the album art file name as "folder.jpg" in the settings. All of that seemed to do the trick. Phew.
